Cecil B. Bays

Game Warden Cecil Bays was shot and killed in Wise County on Thanksgiving night by one of two men who had yelled at him earlier in the evening.

The initial encounter and shooting were both unprovoked.

The subject was shot and killed a short time later by a Norton policeman. The other subject plead guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to five years in prison. He was paroled after serving only three years.
